Oh my goodness! There are no words to describe how beautiful your trees are, thank you for sharing you amazing gift with us!
These trees are all so beautiful. I have to say I’ve never been interested in white trees, but I can now see the beauty of the natural monochrome feeling. I’ve never thought of putting in sticks, bundles or dried flowers from the yard but that added a lovely rustic touch with the browns and whites. As always, lots of ideas to put in the hopper! Thanks!
I like them all! I specially like how the rustic star looks with the sticks or branches on top of the tree 😍
All three were gorgeous and I would love to have in my home but I adore antique ornaments so the last small silver tree is my favorite ☺️
Beautiful, Sherry!
Decorating the Christmas tree is one of the best moments of the year, I think!
Here in Germany we still have real trees for Christmas, spruces or Nordmann firs. They smell sooo good, especially when you have a spruce. But their needles do really pinch, when I was a child I really had sore fingertips after decorating. So most Germans choose Nordmann firs today.
But your artificial trees do also look great, of course! I really like the two big ones. Thanks for a lot of inspiration!
There’s no way I can pick one tree over the others, I love all three. Your silver tree looks a lot like an old fashioned feather tree. I enjoy my Tuesday morning coffee a little more than other days because I have you to watch to start my day on a bright note. Thank you for sharing.
Looks like I’m getting my trees out today. Your creative mind is amazing & so motivating! Your calm voice makes me feel assured that even I could do these things! Thank you for sharing!!
The tree collar was so adorable when finished. They were all so pretty and festive. I liked the ornament that was a cross section of a tree with an image of a squirrel on it. Years ago I did a woodland Christmas tree and ornaments like that would have been brilliant with pictures of owls, squirrels, deer etc. Your imagination and creativity knows no bounds.
You are most definitely the most creative person I’ve ever watched—-never any repeats, always beautiful and interesting. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!❤️❤️❤️
I love how you show ways to repurpose items and use thrifted or found objects. The sticks and dried flowers from your yard were nice touches. I’ll be looking more carefully for fabric and other items the next time I’m out thrifting! Thanks! I liked the little tree because the ornaments reminded me of the ones from my childhood.
I watch a lot of Christmas decorating videos and I have to say that this is one of the best. You showed good, do-able, beautiful ideas and I thank you very much!
Hope you all are having a great week and enjoying the autumn weather before it leaves us for good! I included links for the green tree and the silver tinsel tree, but, unfortunately, I can’t find the white tree. I bought it 5-7 years ago online (but I don’t remember where). If by chance I do find it, I will mention it and link it in a future video. I did see that Wayfair carries a similar champagne shaded tree that looks lovely.
I really appreciate you going through the process of creating a Christmas tree collar- I have looked at these a Target & Lowe’s and they are very expensive & I liked the red plaid that you covered the box with. I look forward to Tuesdays because of your creative posts.
I love hearing “lets get started !” . I love all the trees for different reasons, but if I had to pick just one for my house I think it would be the green nature tree. Great job as always, you have the magic touch! My Christmas tree {real Frasier Fir} is usually covered with vintage ornaments which remind me of my childhood, as well as having some rustic ones such as glass pinecones.
